Ummm... I don't want to sound pedantic but all I've done is confirm that the code you posted works fine when I modify the source of the jquery script file to suit my environment. I can't say whether or not something is interfering with it on your system because I don't know what else you have on your page.
As Michael has already said, if you give us an example we can get at then it could be resolved immediately. If your client does not want 'his' page made (temporarily) public, then either chop out any sensitive stuff (and re-test!), make up a new one (and re-test!), or simply don't tell him (we won't snitch). Probably the first thing to do is take 30 seconds to do exactly what I did - lift the exact code you posted and paste it into a new page, close it off properly, and confirm that it works. Regarding jQuery playing nicely with others, every effort has been made to ensure that it will do just that. So if you have one of those 'others' on your page, and it turns out that that is what's causing the problem, then it would assist everybody greatly to know about the conflict and provide a means for avoiding/circumventing it. If it happens to be proprietary script that is causing interference then we may be able to help there too. cmbtrx wrote: > > > See previous reply; I am not Spock (and yes, I should have included > sample code--doh. sorry) > > Thanks for testing this out...seems then that something is interfering > with jQuery functionality.
